Title: Improvements in or relating to Motor Vehicles.
Inventor: CRAIG ALEXANDER
Filed: 1902-04-21
Granted: 1903-04-09
Abstract: 9239. Craig, A. April 21. Motor road vehicles.-Comprises improvements in the construction of the frame, in the variablespeed toothed gearing, and in the internal-combustion motor. (1) Fig. 1 shows a side elevation, and Fig. 2 a plan of the frame. This is made with longitudinal members 2, 3 and tranverse members 4, 5, strengthened with oblique braces 14, 14<1> and carrying a supplementary frame 7, 8, 9 for the support of the motor and gearing. One end of each tube in the frame is connected to the side of the end of the preceding one so as to leave each tube with one end open for the introduction of a filling piece of wood or other material. (2) Figs. 3 and 4 show two sections through the variablespeed gearing taken at right-angles to each other. In this, the shaft 21, rotated by the motor as usual through the medium of a friction clutch, drives the parallel shaft 22 through which the motion is transmitted to the balance gear 23. The shaft 21 is square, and drives by means of one or other of four spur-wheels 29, 30, 31, 32 capable of being shifted laterally into, or out of, gear with corresponding fixed wheels on the shaft 22. The wheels are shifted by forks 33, 34 sliding on a bar 35 and operated by slots in a rotary cam 38 which can be rotated by a single lever through a toothed sector and pinion. A double reversing-pinion 40, mounted on a fixed arbor 39 and capable of being shifted in or out of gear by cam-actuated forks, is also provided. The cam-grooves are designed so that no speed can be thrown into gear without first throwing out the speed previously in gear, and the edge of the cam plate may also be made to disconnect the clutch while the gear is being changed.

Granted: 1902-06-25
Abstract: 10,775. Caille, C. May 10. Storing under pressure.-Relates to a receiver for storing liquid carbonic acid or other compressed gas, and means for discharging the same to extinguish fires or for other purposes. The receiver d is charged from a bottle containing liquefied carbonic - acid gas and placed inside a receptacle b contained in a larger casing r filled with water. To liberate the gas, a pin s is screwed down by turning the screwed spindle a. The pin perforates the disc and then presses back the valve v, thereby liberating the gas, which passes down between the receivers b, d, and out into the water in r through the pipe p. The water absorbs a part of the gas and the rest rises to the surface, where it passes into the exit pipe through the perforations i.

Granted: 1903-08-20
Abstract: 20,986. Odhner, W. T. Sept. 26. Voting-apparatus. - Apparatus for voting by means of ballot balls for two candidates is shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The balls are collected in the receptacle a, and are delivered in front of the slide d by sliding down the spiral track in the receptacle. One ball at a time is delivered to the movable support formed by the two pivoted arms i, k, and upon the operation of one or other of the two levers l, m, the ball is delivered to its collecting-receptacle. On its way, the ball strikes a bell g to give an audible indication that a vote has been recorded. The collecting-receptacles have slanting channels of definite length, so that, when the receptacles are turned outwards after the voting, the number of balls in each receptacle can be computed readily. Bell-crank levers or spring-pressed rods may replace the movable support levers l, m.

Patent GB-190305826-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Weighing and Sorting Skeins of Yarn or Thread.
Inventor: LEHNER ALFRED
Filed: 1903-03-13
Granted: 1903-08-13
Abstract: 5826. Lehner, A. Nov. 25, A.D. 1902, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Yarn - testing machines; steelyard apparatus.- Relates to a machine for sorting skeins of yarn &c. by weighing. The skeins x are attached to suspenders i on the ends of levers h pivoted to brackets g, a number of which are arranged around the ring c. This ring is rotated around the rim of the fixed circular table b by means of a friction wheel d. Weights l slide upon the levers, which, when the skeins are first attached, occupy a horizontal position. Brackets o fixed to the table b at increasing distances from the centre gradually push the weight l towards the fulcra of the levers as the latter are carried around. The centres of gravity of the levers may be either above, below, or at the fulcrums. When the turning-moment at the outer end of the lever exceeds that at the inner end, the lever is overbalanced, its inner end runs up one of the spaces 3 between the guidesp, and it takes a vertical position, so that the skein lies in the path of the rod r, down which it slides. A rod r is placed opposite each guide p, and all the skeins upon it will be of the same weight. By unhooking the spring catch w, the rod r can be turned down on its pivot u to remove the skeins. The levers are brought into the horizontal position again by striking the nose 8 of the guide q and sliding down the space 5, and the weights are brought back by an inclined rod 6. The weights l may be dispensed with, and a camtrack put in the place of the brackets o.

Abstract: 13,697. Jackson, E. June 19. Making boxes.-A machine for dovetailing the corners of boxes &c. is shown in Figs. 1 and 2 The wood B is clamped between the bar 10 and the plate 6, which is moved vertically by the lever 7 on the plate 4. This plate is moved horizontally by the pinion 14 and the hand-wheel 13. The tools or chisels 24 are reciprocated by the lever 17, a forked arm on the shaft 16, and the links 22, through the block 25, which can be moved along the base-plate 21, so as to adjust the distance between the chisels. The fixed cutters 26 are for cleaning out the backs of " blind " dovetail grooves. In operation, the cutters 24 are reciprocated, and the slide 6 is gradually lowered until stopped by the gauge screw 12. Then the slide 4 is moved horizontally, and at the next operation one groove M', Fig. 12, is completed and another M halfformed. When the grooves in the companion pieces of wood are being cut, the cutters 24, 26 are removed, the slide C is secured by a screw to the base-plate 21, so as to cause the plate to slide on the bed 1, and two brackets 28, Fig. 8, with attached saw plates 29 are fixed to the plate 21. At each stroke of the base-plate 21, one groove 30 between two tenons is finished off and another is half-cut. The machine may be power-driven.

Granted: 1905-02-09
Abstract: 3919. Dunn, G. S. Aug. 20, A.D. 1903, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Drawings to Specification. Gearing, driving.-The speed of a machine tool driven by an electromotor is varied by varying the speed of the motor within limits which will not materially affect its power and by a set of changegears. Current is preferably supplied to the motor by a multiple-wire system provided with a controller-switch to vary the voltage at the armature terminals. The ratio of the values of succeeding pairs of wheels in the change-gears is constant, and is considerably less than the ratio of the highest to the lowest speed of the motor when giving its nominal output. In cases where the full power is not required over a wide range of speed, as in taking a finishing cut @ a faceplate in a lathe, the speed of the motor may be varied over a wider range to maintain the cutting-speed constant without changing the gears. The application of the invention to the driving of boring-mills, drilling-machines, &c. imentioned in the Specification.
